Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has responded to claims made by Coach Paul Putt in a recent interview with a local daily.
Putt, who left his post a week ago, has accused FKF of failing to honor their promises, prompting him to resign.
However, in a quick rejoinder, the FKF has said the claims were outright false, adding that they honored their contract.
“Our attention has been drawn to comments made by immediate former Harambee Stars Head Coach Mr. Paul Put, to a local Daily Newspaper, on why he resigned from his position as the Kenya National Football Team Head Coach. As FKF, we had honored the contract as expected of a National Federation,"
"Equally, the federation treated his resignation with the utmost professional consideration. In our communication to stakeholders, we had cited the reasons for Mr. Put’s resignation as personal,” the lengthy statement signed by FKF Communications and Public Relations Manager, Barry Otieno stated.
“Mr. Put’s comments are misleading and further point out to the unprofessional conduct he has adopted after his resignation. In light of the foregoing, the federation feels that the coach has broken the trust, professionalism and duty entrusted by the federation on him.
“We, therefore, wish to state the facts and correct any erroneous perceptions committed by omission or commission through the statements attributed to the former coach,” Otieno claimed.
Put had claimed that the federation failed among other things to provide the coach with certain personal requirements.
